That I find out my "end day".... probably in about 15 minutes from now I'll know.... Sorry I'm nervous cause this is the part that sucks most. And I have no one to talk to at the moment about it T_T

ITS THE GIANT PINK AND PURPLE DOTTED ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM!!!

Gerard isn't going anywhere! WOOT!!! ^_^


I’ve never thought much of my doodles that I’m painting on my basement walls (or my art work overall).

In progress are:

Urd from Ah! My Goddess.
Two depictions of Amaterasu from Okami, (all on the same wall, the wall itself is a deep blue.)
And a on a black wall is an Amida Buddha (think of the Daibutsu Buddha in Kamakura, Japan) in silver and white paint thus far…

The four that got painted over are:

Suzaku Kururugi’s Knightmare Frame the Lancelot from Code Geass
C.C. (in school uniform) from Code Geass
Lacus Clyne (holding pink haro) from Gundam Seed
X10A Freedom Gundam (half blown to bits, lol) from Gundam Seed - Episode 50

Some people that have seen the work in progress have asked me how much I’d charge to paint a mural for them. Or if I have a card (wtf?!) standing in line at the Home Depot paint counter. Its just a hobby… kinda time consuming… and I’d have to be in other peoples houses at their whim? Sounds tedious to me… that and I don’t think that I’m good enough to demand a justifiable amount. The time and supplies alone… geeze. Plus what if I see in my head isn’t what they see? One guy wants Malcom X (in the Boondocks drawing style) but also Andy Warhol’ish with multiple images in different colors. T_T

For fun I have no problem but when money is involved I’m squeamish. On another note I probably will not get a chance to finish my four paintings in progress… due to the fact that I either have to get a roommate or rent out my place (and I’m pretty sure not everyone wants giant anime characters, kanji or a big ass Buddha painted on the walls). Most likely they will all be painted over so that the basement looks “normal” and finished. Which makes me sad to think that I’ll never see what they would have looked like completed.

I have maybe 90 days left at the bank. My department wont exist anymore. So let me know if you know of a job op. or work. ty

I had a thought of starting an artist association, co op, errr… something along those lines. A physical place (i.e. building) where artist can get together and vibe, have studios to produce new pieces of master work! Cause most people can agree on one thing. And That is that usually the place you live at limits the amount of room for your art, equipment and supplies lol. The energy from one person can spread to another person and thus inspiration! It would be really cool for networking, getting commissions, new experiences, being exposed to different kinds of art and the people that create it. OMG my brain is working again!

I'm painting my basement walls with various anime and video game characters. Last night I did something stupid! Because of the amount of area I have to paint I've been using Behr interoir paints. Bought the three primary colors, 3 shades of grey, white and black. Well... last night I mixed blue and red for Lacus's hair, also mixed blue and yellow for CC's hair... Problem being I forgot that the blue that I have is a semi gloss and the red AND yellow are satins... which gave me a ugly finish and pukey looking colors.

Now I have to redo what I did last night. On an upside note the guys at the home depot paint countor want to see my progress ^_^; and Im their new best customer. lol
